Silver price level

Mango Opinion

Hog Hollow is a country lodge along the garden route in South Africa. The lodge is not overly luxurious but rather exudes charm and offers excellent service and value. This area offers loads of activities like hiking, horseback riding, whale watching and much more.

Hog Hollow Country Lodge is a beautiful lodge set on the edge of an indigenous forest in a private nature reserve with panoramic views of the surrounding indigenous forests, valleys and mountains, in one of the most beautiful parts of Africa - the Garden Route. Plettenberg Bay is the top destination for boat based whale and dolphin watching due to the large number of whale and dolphin species found in the bay (five whale and three dolphin species).

The Main House forms a communal dining area surrounded by a long blue swimming pool that visually flows into the valley below and a boma where nightly fires are lit. Overlooking the Matjies River Gorge & the Tsitsikamma Mountains, this congenial hub is where it all happens. The boma deck is the place to check-in, sip some bubbly, or a good cup of tea, relax after a day’s outing, chat to newly found friends and catch up with family news – comfy chairs, a crackling fire and a sundowner in hand – what better way to end the day!Other attractions include a forest sauna and privately sited forest shower with incredible views over the valley. All 15 suites have private decks overlooking these vistas and offer guests relaxed luxury in an unforgettable setting.

For the adventurous, the lodge is the perfect base from which to explore and experience numerous adventure activities. They are renowned for personalized service and assist you with the planning and booking of daily excursions.
